Our strategy

Our strategy for 2016-2020: Improving Lives sets out our future direction and how we will impact upon sport and physical activity in the West of England. To view our strategy please, Click Here and feel free to get in touch with us via info@wesport.org.uk to find out more information.

Here in the West of England we are proud that we have a greater number of people aged 14+ taking part in sport at least once a week than the national average; 39.0%¹ compared to 36.7%¹. However, this only represents a small number of the 1.1 million² people who live in the West of England. Of the 856,794 people aged 14+ approximately 50% do not participate in any sporting activities, an average of 17%³of children in the West of England are classed as obese and in the less affluent areas people are more likely to be inactive. Over the next 4 years we aim to improve these figures and get more people taking part in sport.
